2 TABLE OF CONTENTS - Introduction Week Week Week Week Christmastide Appendix of Songs
3 THE CHURCH YEAR As another calendar year draws a close, a new church year is ust beginning. The church, or liturgical, year was developed during the first centuries of the early church as a ol help the people of God remember and celebrate the full mystery of the Gospel. Each season of the liturgical year calls us focus on different aspects of the Gospel, from Jesus life, death, and resurrection, as well as his ascension, the day of Pentecost and his promised return. To that end, each season has its own colors, prayers, rituals and moods aid in our remembrance and celebration. By marking the passage of time redemptively, the liturgical year reminds us that God has acted and continues act in hisry, redeeming for himself his people. Taken algether, we see that the liturgical year acts in concert with Scripture and our weekly and daily worship, amplifying the invitation lose ourselves in the good news of Jesus so that we might truly find ourselves and live. ADVENT The four-week season of Advent starts the new church year, preparing the people of God for the celebrations of Christmas and Epiphany. Advent means coming and its mood is that of longing, expectation and waiting. The color purple is used because of its association with repentance, preparation and sacrifice. Appropriately during this time, the church remembers Jesus first coming and anticipates his coming again. This world is broken, and so we yearn for Jesus come back as our King and make all things new. The cry of Advent is the cry of those who have experienced the tyranny of inustice in a world under the curse of sin. It is the cry from those who still have hope of deliverance because they believe in a God who hears the cries of the oppressed and delivers them. Of course, Scripture teaches us that we need redemption from our broken world because we broke it! Advent calls us wait and prepare for Jesus return by repenting and believing. We are turn away from the false hopes and desires that twist our hearts and destroy our relationships. Instead, we are turn ward Jesus, who frees us so that we may serve one another in grace and truth. Just as John the Baptist was born prepare the way for Jesus first coming, so we are given each other in the community of the church encourage each other and challenge the world around us prepare for his coming again. 2
4 So, what do we exactly do during Advent? We wait and prepare by re-committing ourselves the Christian practices: weekly worship, daily prayer, gathering with brothers and sisters in Christ for mutual encouragement, hospitality and sacrificial giving, and the proclamation of the good news of Jesus Christ. We re-commit experiencing God anew and praying with new hope the final prayer of the Bible: Come, Lord Jesus! (Rev. 22:20) C H R I S T M A S At Christmas, we remember the birth of Jesus. Derived from Christ Mass, Christmas is a feast of fulfillment and future fulfillment. The mood is that of celebration. The colors white and gold are used because of its association with the glory, royalty, oy, holiness and light of God. With all of our past, present and future waiting answered in Jesus, we continue the song sung by the chorus of angels present at Jesus birth: Glory God in the highest! (Luke 2:14). And it s not a one-day affair. It s actually a 12-day celebration beginning at sunset on Christmas Eve! How could it not be a multi-day, extravagant and oyous feast when the King of Kings, the Prince of Peace, Crear and Redeemer has come make the world and us new and is coming again? So what do we do during Christmas? We reoice, celebrate and give gifts. In some traditions, gift giving occurs on each of the 12-days of Christmas. Regardless of your gift giving practice, it is one that emulates and points God s great sacrificial generosity wards us. Thus, celebrating Christmas is an exercise in humility and care of others. As Paul says, Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit...in your relationships with one another, have the same attitude of mind Christ Jesus had: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something be used his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness (Philippians 2). So while we celebrate, we also look for ways be united with Jesus in his humiliation so that others in our lives can know the oy of the Incarnation, God with us. In other words, we continue cultivate the Christian practices be shaped in the people of God. 3
5 THE ADVENT WREATH & THE PRAYER GUIDE Many celebrations of Advent include the use of an Advent wreath. The Advent wreath is a relatively new tradition (19th century), but an increasingly popular one. The wreath consists of evergreen boughs encircling five candles. Four candles represent each week of Advent and the fifth represents Christmas. One candle is lit on the first Sunday of Advent. Two are lit on the second Sunday, and so on. All four candles and the remaining fifth candle are lit either on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. It s worth noting that in some traditions, the candles also represent different themes of the seasons: THE FIRST CANDLE / purple / Hope. Throughout the Old Testament, God tells his people that He will fulfill his promise conquer sin and all its effects by sending a Savior. THE SECOND CANDLE / purple / Peace. One of Jesus many titles is the Prince of Peace. He is the means for reconciliation between the Righteous God and His unrighteous people. He is also the means of peace between people, within families, across cultures, generations, classes, and nations. THE THIRD CANDLE / pink / purple / Joy. It is through Jesus Christ that we participate in eternal, abundant life. One of the fruits of His Spirit dwelling in us is oy. How could it be otherwise since nothing can separate us from the love of God through the Savior? A pink candle is sometimes used help us mark the midpoint of Advent. THE FOURTH CANDLE / purple / Love. God s love is shown by this while we were yet sinners, His Son Jesus died for us. And now we have been redeemed and adopted in His family as His children. Experiencing God s love for us, we are now made free love others. THE FIFTH AND CENTER CANDLE / white / Jesus Christ, the light of the World. In Him we find truth and purpose. He not only died purchase us as a people for His own possession, He rose from the dead as the pledge that we also shall be raised a new and everlasting life. 4
6 We recommend using the wreath because it offers a visual way mark our Advent waiting and the fulfillment of our expectations in Jesus Christ. Lighting the candles also offers a moment in our busy days, whether we are alone or with others, pause and reflect on our longings and offer them the one who created us, knows us and comes us. This daily guide offers daily prayers, readings and hymns for Advent and Christmas. Many of the prayers and scripture readings reflect the Advent theme of the week. We believe this guide, along with the wreath, will help you as individuals, roommates, groups, and families enter in the sry of the gospel in new and deeper ways. Our goal is not load you down with more tasks in an already busy life, but rather provide you with ols help you experience God s goodness more fully this season and beyond. It is a great oy for us be your pasrs. We are so thankful that God has brought us gether and we are honored be able worship and serve our Lord gether with you. May Christ grant us all a blessed Advent and Christmas! WITH GREAT LOVE FOR YOU ALL, The Pasral Staff of Resurrection Brooklyn * Portions of this guide have been adapted from materials from our friends at Christ Church Berkley (CA) and Trinity Presbyterian Church (VA). 5
